better attribute filtering

Is there a possibility to combine 'and' and 'or' operators in attribute filtering?

So that I can use logical expressions like this:

condition1 and (condition2 or condition3)

I know that I can obtain this by fetching the data and filtering later, but I would like if there's a way to do this with fetch() operator.

Hi Marko,

Yes, this is possibile. More information you can find in documentation

In the docs there are only examples how to use only one logical operator, examples like this:

array( 'and', array( 'priority', '20' ),                                        array( 'article/title', '=', 'abc' ) )

What I want to use with attribute filtering is something like this:

array('and',
      array('article/title','=','abc'),
      array('or', array('priority','=','5'),                                              
                  array('priority','=','11'),                                             
           )
     )

Since this case is not documented in the examples, and when I tried to use it it didn't work, I'd like to know if this is possible in eZ and has someone tried it? And succeseded of course :)

Its not currently possible to use both in one statement (unfortunately).
